Ingredients

1 ½lbsBoneless skinless chicken breastcut into bite sized pieces

½tbspXanthan gum

Salt and pepper to taste

3tbspcoconut aminos

2tbspSwerve brown sugar substitute

1tspMirin

2tspGinger paste

2tspMinced garlic

2tspSesame oildivided

1tbspOlive oil

Instructions

Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, and coat in salt and pepper to taste.

Place the chicken pieces into a Ziploc bag, and sprinkle in ½ tbsp of Xanthan gum. Close the bag and shake to coat all the chicken pieces evenly.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the heated skillet.

Let the chicken sit for 3-4 minutes on one side, and then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and seared well. The xanthan gum should allow the chicken to get a bit crispy and crunchy on the outside.

While the chicken is cooking, add the coconut aminos, brown sugar substitute, rice cooking wine, ginger paste, minced garlic and 1 tsp of sesame oil to a small bowl, and whisk to combine.

Pour the sauce over the mixture in the skillet, and cook for another minute or two, stirring to combine.

We generally use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, so that’s what was listed in the ingredients. I must have mis-typed in the recipe steps, thank you for pointing that out! You can use soy sauce if that is what you have on hand, but it does have wheat ingredients and will change the nutrition info slightly.
